Sun conjunct Pluto: Dominant and Powerful

Complex power issues crackle in the air today as long-hidden secrets and other information bubble to the surface. Right now, our focus and passions are much more laser-like than usual. We go for the burn, but if we’re too dogmatic, forceful or stubborn, we can easily burn out.

It’s so tempting to look around with a critical eye and see what everyone else is doing wrong, but remember, a person can only change themselves, no one else. Our desire to improve something will be strong, but this energy can be used in a positive way by focusing it inwardly rather than allowing ourselves to focus it unconsciously on others.

We’ll fearlessly look inside today and will be willing to tackle ugly jobs. We’re not afraid of getting dirty, either, so we can dig right in on a major cleanup, whether on an external or internal plane. People in power may seem even more domineering than usual, yet to some, such power is very sexy and charismatic. Avoid obsessiveness today.

If you have the Sun conjunct Pluto as a natal aspect:

You perceive yourself as powerful, and others do too. With laser-like precision you narrow your focus on exactly what you want to achieve, and work tirelessly and relentlessly toward your goal. You can’t tolerate others getting in your way, and have no patience for people who are slower than you.

Your intensity scares away others, yet your smoldering charisma and palpable personal power attract the few who are as strong-willed as you (or submissive types who like to be dominated, but secretly you detest these people). Battles of will are unavoidable for you, and the unconscious urge to control those close to you may in fact drive them away.

After a few of these painful experiences, you may decide it’s just easier to be alone, although in your heart of hearts you long for a deep soul connection with your equal. In any event, you need lots of time by yourself. Don’t underestimate or ignore this need, for it is during your alone time that you’ll connect with your deepest personal resources, which are many.

You have the capacity to go far in life, by virtue of your focus, intensity, and will. Keep things in perspective, and develop meaningful relationships, too.
